What makes a sport a sport?

Cheerleading, Horseback riding, NASCAR, Dance, just some of the few activities many people like to debate on whether or not they are considered a sport. Well lucky for you in class this Monday, sport was defined!

Sport (according to my leisure programming teacher): an activity that demands a combination of physical skills, endurance, alertness, purpose, and enthusiasm. Also uses specific equipment.

So guess what everyone! Dancing is a sport, Cheerleading is a sport, and even speed walking is a sport! :) A game, however, includes more chance, along with some physical endurance and skill. Like Monopoly! (You could be playing all night long and that takes physical endruance hahaha)

This post is just for the fun of life!
